Hiding remote desktop on dual monitor systems has problems? RRS feed

    Got my Mesh invite, got it installed on machines that are side by side, and quickly ran into my first problem.

    I remote connected to a dual monitor system from a different dual monitor. Got the "squished" desktop effect in the browser, but the "show full-size" option worked well.

    However, I told the system to hide the remote desktop, and only one screen on the dual monitor went blank. Interestingly, when I disconnected and signed back in at that machine, the monitor that went blank was disabled, and I had to re-enable it and make it part of my Windows desktop.

    Oddball thing about that particular dual monitor setup: screen 2 is to the LEFT of screen 1, so screen 2 starts at -1280, and screen 1 starts at 0. Don't know if that's important or relevant.

    Hi,

    We do have a known issue with one monitor being disabled after a Live Mesh Remote Desktop session, as you describe.  For your other issue, would you mind filing a bug report?

    Bug submit process:

    Please go to http://connect.microsoft.com/. Sign in and then select Live Mesh Tech Preview on Your Dashboard.  Click Feedback and follow the instructions for collecting your logs and then submit a bug.
    To get your logs:

    1.  Click Start.
    2.  Select All Programs and look for the Live Mesh folder.
    3.  Click     Collect Live Mesh Logs.
    4.  Your logs will be bundled together in a cab file now located on your desktop.

    Attach your LiveMeshLogs.cab file located on your desktop to your bug.

    Note: you will have to submit a bug first, then edit it to attach your logs.

    Thanks,

    Ben.
